The same you do when your passport is stolen -- panic and reissue. If anything, reissuing a digital id on a new phone is less hassle, as long as you didn't lose every other physical id, the sim card and reissue codes for esim.

All of that already works and wasn't even revoked for military-aged men for the usual reasons.

My experience with exec types is they most often will either agree with the problem, but not want to listen to proposed solutions (because they want to be "the one"), or they won't want to acknowledge the problem is real, and then try to dominate the conversation explaining how you are wrong.
Nope! Third party launchers work just fine in GOS and other custom roms, with gesture navigation as well. The tough thing is that animations don't work well, at least in my experience. Most of the very slick "return to home" animations break on non-stock launchers, and it introduces stuttering on returning to home unless you're using 3-button navigation.

intellectual property law is regulation. regulators always get bought out because regulators career advance to the companies they worked with. remove intellectual property and the market fixes the problem.

> The problem of healthcare availability is completely orthogonal because MAiD is an option available but never forced as an alternative.

You're saying it's an "option," but also saying it's "orthogonal" whether the alternative option actually exists. What kind of logic is that?

> The advantage of PQConnect is that, once you have installed PQConnect on your computer, PQConnect automatically detects servers that support PQConnect, and transparently encrypts traffic to those servers.

I mainly take issue with this claim of "automatically" detecting servers and magically doing post-quantum magic to your connections, magically.

It seems to do so by noticing that DNS records for names are CNAMEs that match a format ("pq1" and then a 52-char b32-encoded hash), which it does by creating a netfilter rule for "udp sport 53" [0].

So, I guess if you don't have adversaries racing your DNS response packets, and you're not using dns-over-tls or dns-over-https, then the magic can work.

One glaring problem with this kind of automatic, magic setup is that if you do have attackers, or if your system does dns in some newfangled way that wasn't thought up in the 1980s, then it doesn't secure your connection, but it also doesn't tell you that it failed to do so.

So many clients (imap, ldap, anything) that use StartTLS don't default to "fail if TLS doesn't work" and don't tell the user anything about it, and it makes me hate StartTLS even though the fault isn't directly with StartTLS.

I'm curious if the breach is from the German core Cariad or the Swedish subsidiary/joint-venture, WirelessCar?

Based on what sort of data was exposed, it seems plausible that it is one of the services from WirelessCar.
It's "failure to launch" as a social activity. It seems directed at unburdened youth who do not need to struggle to survive in any way. If friendships are truly the path to the highest levels of wealth then the takeaway should be that learning how to make new friends is the highest of human endeavors as it not only enriches your lives but the lives of those you connect with.

Instead they come away with "get your high school friends to pick houses on Zillow together and live an 'enclave.'" Weird indeed.

One thing I'd like to see tested: I have a theory that reusable plastic containers leach out most of their chemicals early in their life, so the amount imparted to any food diminishes with each use. Under this theory, I save and reuse old plastic containers for a long time, and avoid new ones (especially single use). Could this be true, or misguided?
I still do LAN parties every once in a while with a group of friends. Meeting in the same room with laptops and bulky desktop PCs to play old 00s games is still a lot of fun!
YouTube is a private entity; as long as they comply with the DMCA, they're under no obligation to take content down or even make content available (outside of contracts they enter into voluntarily). The DMCA doesn't provide strict timelines (just that the initial takedown requires the provider to "act expeditiously", and nothing for restoration).

The bigger issue is that Content ID has always been a way for YouTube to side-step the DMCA in a way that's beneficial to big copyright holders -- channel operators assume risk fighting a takedown in a way that was never a part of the DMCA.

AI-generated music can be acceptable in certain contexts, such as white noise for coding, running, or working out, where the primary goal is background ambiance rather than active listening.

However, AI-generated fake podcasts are a different story—they're often frustrating and a waste of people's time.

Unfortunately, platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify are increasingly populated with these spammy, AI-created podcasts. For those interested, here's a small subset (4,000+) of such AI-generated fake podcasts available on Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/listennotes/ai-generated-fak....

I noticed this and the ghost artists in my recommendations after playing some ambient.

I'm done with Spotify. I've had the service since it was beta in the Nordics, maybe 2008? It was amazing to be able to stream almost every piece of music there is.

I love music, I'm an amateur musician and I respect artists. This treats music as a fungible commodity. That's not what music is to me, so I choose not to support that.

I also understand the predicament they are in. I had friends who worked at Rdio, and I briefly worked at a startup doing music recommendation until the big 3 quoted us how much royalties they wanted in advance to stream their catalogue one time to learn from.

The record labels are the root cancer on the industry, but the alternative for Spotify might be to become a better label, not become another bad actor.
> In North America, there is a very strong cultural preference to isolate oneself

There's also a "very strong cultural preference" to be "obnoxious," as you put it. Hence a strong preference to isolate oneself.

I'd be fine living and raising a family in a high-rise downtown in a country where people behave themselves. Not here in the US. The comparison isn't apples-to-apples.

defectors, detractors. It was Azerbaijani Airlines, headed to Grozny, so maybe a passenger from either of those regions? Azerbaijan is in intense conflict with Armenia and highly dependent on Russian support. The region is deep in conflict, and strongly authoritarian. Plenty of people people who would need a strong message to understand that they're not as independent as they might think.

Of course you have to evaluate the facts yourself, but it's healthy to have some critical perspective.
we live in a post intellectual property age. its about manufacturing and resources now. it is overwhelmingly used to suppress upstarts and remove diverse competition in the market before they can get their legs. regulators go on to work for the companies they regulated. The conflicts of interest create an oligopoly that is more about lawyers than about engineering.

its time we repealed it all. no one gets to own an idea of the universe. especially not a faceless org created for tax purposes.
>OSX statically links everything and has for years. When there was a vulnerability in zlib they had to release 3GB of application updates to fix it in all of them. But you know what? It generally just works fine, and I'm not actually convinced they're making the wrong tradeoff.

Let's see. On one hand there is more compile time, disk usage, bandwidth usage, RAM usage required for static linking. On the other hand we have a different, slightly more involved linking scheme that saves on every hardware resource. It seems to me that static linking is rarely appropriate for most applications and systems.
Your "not apples to apples" concession isn't adequate. You are essentially still saying that a machine running a neural network is compare to the brain of an animal or a person - just maybe different units of measurement. But they're not. It's a matter of dramatically different computing systems, systems that operate very differently (well, don't know exactly how animal brains work but we know enough to know they don't work like GPUs).

Your Moravec article is only looking at what's necessary for computers to have the processing power of animal brains. But you've been up and down this thread arguing that equivalent processing power could be sufficient for a computer to achieve the intelligence of an animal. Necessary vs sufficient is big distinction.
I don't have any sources handy but I believe conventional wisdom is that plastic decomposition accelerates with age due to the cumulative effect of UV exposure.
I think symlinks are really underappreciated for organizing files.

One cool thing you can do is to treat directories as tags when you symlink into them, since a file can 'belong' to multiple directories.

If you're using Windows, you can just use WSL and then you don't need administrative access as the OP's program does.

Here are some simple tools to let you use symlinks as tags:

The Polestar 2 is pretty good in this regard. All the most important things are on the steering wheel stalks, steering wheel buttons, and a few buttons for things like demist, play/pause and volume control on the centre console. There's still a lot on the touchscreen, including climate control, but it seems to hit a pretty good balance for me (and I'm not a fan on car touchscreens).

supervisory board of VW has 20 members, state of Lower Saxony appoints 2 (as a minority shareholder), workforce elects 7 among themselves, and 3 are trade union representatives also elected by the workforce.

no one is denying it's a for profit company, but its governance model doesn't really scream "neoliberalism". assuming you're from the US, (German) enterprises like VW are vastly different from what exists in the US, not just in the terms of their structure but also their influence on Germany and EU.
I'd expect almost the opposite. Plastics left in the sun tend to turn brittle, I'd expect that to be a big contributor to microplastics generally in the environment as those plastics break down.

But I agree, would be interesting to know.

I've been switching my stuff over to glass when possible. But, unfortunately unless I become a full-time farmer there's no escaping the fact that my food comes wrapped in plastic that's wrapped in plastic and further wrapped in more plastic. Single use plastics for food should be heavily restricted.

Misguided probably...

"They certainly did not advise putting deli containers in the microwave or dishwasher. Warner puts it simply: “The more you reuse them, the more they would be likely to leach chemicals because of the repeated washing and exposure to acidic things and soap, and scouring them in cycles. "

Why not both? My guess would be, they release one type of horrible thing early on, then graduate to some other horrible thing through short term degradation.

We switched out plastic containers for glass and silicone for the most part some time back. Personally I was just routinely disappointed with the quality of the tupperware-type things, so why not spent a few bucks more once and get something that lasts? It still will have a plastic top or parts but you can at least heat it up in the glass part.

Money quote:

> Spotify’s own internal research showed that many users were not coming to the platform to listen to specific artists or albums; they just needed something to serve as a soundtrack for their days, like a study playlist or maybe a dinner soundtrack. In the lean-back listening environment that streaming had helped champion, listeners often weren’t even aware of what song or artist they were hearing. As a result, the thinking seemed to be: Why pay full-price royalties if users were only half listening? It was likely from this reasoning that the Perfect Fit Content program was created.
Nailed it.

I was going to say that I think more of us should be figuring out how to make connections with the people in the communities we live in.

But I do think moving might make sense for lots of people (maybe including me), in order to have a better local community. Instead of moving to be close to past or current friends, I might suggest we should be moving to places where people are like-minded about valuing a tight knit community, then making friends with those people.

These places seem to be very few and far between, though, and it's hard (impossible?) to find them on Zillow.

It’s a fundamental difference between how Airbus and Boeing approach flight controls. Airbus take the view that pilots should never be able to command an action the aircraft thinks is dangerous. Where as Boeing believe that pilots have ultimate authority to command the aircraft to do anything, regardless of if aircraft thinks it’s dangerous (obviously the aircraft provides warning etc, but they can ultimately be overridden and ignored).

In a little more detail, Airbus systems take pilot inputs, interprets what the pilot wants to achieve, then commands control surfaces to produce that outcome. Applying limits etc to ensure that flight limits aren’t exceeded. The end result is that pilot inputs are somewhat loosely correlated to control surface outputs, compared to traditional fully mechanical system.

Boeing on the other hand tries to as tightly a possible map pilot inputs to control surface outputs, mimicking a pure mechanical system (despite being fly-by-wire, like Airbus). But provides force feedback to the pilot via input controls to indicate, but not completely prevent, that the pilot is approaching or about to exceed flight control limits.

At a team size of 500 the number of roles is flexible. Do I hire one senior or two mids? It can depend on the quality applicants. And if an applicant is really exceptional, money can sometimes be found horse-trading with other parts of the org.

As an IC I thought most engineers were decently competent and deserved to be treated well. As a hiring manager I discovered that I had only interacted with engineers who had been good enough to land a job and my sample was biased. It turns out that most applicants are completely incompetent and should have never applied in the first place. The _typical_ experience for me is ~3000 applicants, ~300 phone screens, and ~30 interviews for _one_ hire.

I feel bad for the genuinely capable engineers who don’t get a response. That’s tough. Rest assured it sucks for everyone. If I knew a better way I’d be game. Head-hunting myself is even more time intensive.
